Korean films always have a strong sense of family, and it is this kind of family and spirit that has created the status of Korean movies today. A strong presence, and its uniqueness. Directors are always used to revealing or accusing people of this era, the dissatisfaction of this society, and how people's hearts have been destroyed by those dark and cold stories...
Films are often not very targeted and can be discussed by people. There are many points. What they have to do is to fully integrate what they see and think into their stories, record them one by one in the camera, and then present them in front of the audience in a coherent and gorgeous manner.
This film has a strange and delicate title. The thorny vines grow violently, spreading from the heart to the hands covering the chest, entwining, multiplying, and blooming blood red and coquettish roses until a stream of blood gushed out. The vines continued to spread, the roots and branches deeply embedded in the palm of the hand, the lifeline. At the same time, there is the process of making the cake, kneading, rolling, and flipping. The twigs are wrapped around the fingers with the cream.
Drops of water slipped off the edge of the knife, and a piece of cake was cut open.
The blood drop slipped from the tip of the knife, and a pool of blood spattered.
A piece of blood smeared, and the bright red sauce was poured on the cake and slowly flowed into the depths.
The leaves on the vine turned into an eye, and a tear slid down the eye painted with bright red eyeshadow.
Very strong metaphor, almost the entire story is included in this short and concise title. The revenge plan of the protagonist Jin Zi is the clue of the whole film. She said that it was a long-planned plan that started seventeen years ago. Therefore, the seeds of hatred have been planted since then, and slowly took root and sprout over time, until the moment when they were released from prison, they really broke out. Years of forbearance spewed out, and this hatred has long since infiltrated into life unknowingly, and is destined to leave an indelible mark. The baker in the film, he marveled at the fact that gold made the most delicious cake with inferior ingredients. Just like Gold's Revenge, the guns made by inmates, the decorations, the shabby executive team and equipment, everything seems to be shoddy, but it is unimaginably perfect. In the film, the image of making a cake represents the entire revenge operation process. Jin Zi once sold a cake to the police, indicating that she pushed the whole revenge operation to the police. As the film shows, the police are also involved in the revenge plan. The bright red flowing sauce at the end of the title also hints at the ending of the story. The scene of the cake appeared again, after the revenge was successful, everyone ate the cake together to celebrate. The revenge is done, the cake is done, eat the cake and be reborn? ! ! ! is it? Could it be reborn like this? Will everything go back to square one?
Will not! The blood that flows into the bones of gold is tightly fused with the bone marrow, and the blood-red imprint is deeply imprinted in the heart. Tears cannot be washed away, and it will never be released.
The transitions in the film are unexpectedly meticulous, with N many facial close-ups and narrations and monologues widely used, giving people a sense of immersion. Instead of staying out of it, feeling pity for the fate of others. There is no sense of the times, as if it happened around, the kind of truth, people can't help but doubt the world. The narration in the film objectively tells the audience the before and after experience of Jin Zi's revenge, a big story. The content of the story is composed of the inner monologues of different characters in the film. Multiple short stories, the same purpose, different perspectives. It tells the whole story to the audience, which is rich and real, complex and profound. There is very little music used in the film, but it is very appropriate. When Jin Zi told the cake man about his experience of being threatened to take the blame for others, his expression was so calm, as if he was telling someone else's story. However, under the calm exterior, hidden is a restless heart. The wailing and whining soundtrack reveals everything, and I can't help but wonder, what kind of heart is that? Why so forbear?
We pay attention to the plot in the film. To enlighten inmates; to donate kidneys; to take care of the elderly with dementia; to give a sincere speech before being released from prison; Obviously, the director has created a beautiful and kind character for us, but it is such a kind and kind woman who shines like "gold" just like her name. But it also has the evil side of "gold". An unscrupulous, deliberate plan of revenge to achieve an end. The so-called kindness and help to everyone is actually a preparation for winning people's hearts and for revenge. Actively helping inmates, even donating kidneys, is actually to fight for an early release from prison. Even caring for the elderly with dementia has a purpose. Surprisingly, in order to consolidate her position, in order to inherit the title of "witch", in order to get the right not to be rejected, she actually killed the real witch. Before that, the "witch" had always been fond of gold and devoted his heart to it. Until she died, until the last second, she was always regarded as the closest person. An unusually rare tenderness appeared on the face of the "prison tyrant" who murdered her husband and carnivores, while the decidedly stern and treacherous cruelty appeared in the eyes of this gentle and kind person. Incredible and confusing, is human nature inherently good or inherently evil? How do you define good people and bad people? Why is human nature always so contradictory.
A smile that impresses me. It was Jin Zi who announced the real murderer to the parents of the victimized child. The moment when the parents knew the truth and cried bitterly, Jin Zi smiled. The victor's face. There is no trace of emotion at all. After a parent collapsed from a heart attack, he continued to play the next crime without stopping. She is eager to clarify her innocence, she hates it, and wants to take revenge on the villain teacher who arrested her for the crime. Those children were just a perfect and beautiful excuse for her revenge. How just, how selfless. It's just a public revenge. And the righteous witnesses, the parents who are used as tools of revenge are worried at this time, is whether someone will report their revenge behavior in the future, what an intriguing arrangement, the revenge of killing a child, the great revenge is not reported, the most The first consideration is your own safety. In any case, human beings are still selfish after all! After the success of revenge, the note with his bank account number on it, once again fully exposed the ugliness of human beings. It is very ironic that these ugly faces are forever frozen in the photo to prevent leaks and ensure safety.
In the film, the meaningful scene where the police teach parents how to use knives to hurt the avenged person is a slap in the face from the director for his legal physique. The law is so unreliable that even a police officer would choose to lynch criminals rather than punish them with legal weapons. It can be seen that the people's extreme distrust of the law. The law is not serious, and the potential threat to the society is huge. The police clearly discovered the problem back then, and there was enough evidence to doubt the authenticity of the murderer, but he did not continue to investigate. Such irresponsible handling of the case led to the final tragedy. Good people were wronged, bad people were let go, and tragedy happened one after another. It seems to be a heartwarming crime film, but it is actually a profound reflection on the social constitution. I once heard a Korean express dissatisfaction with Korean laws. He believes that "the weeds are not eradicated until the spring breeze blows." There is no death penalty in South Korea. It is hard to imagine what it would be like to eat in the same restaurant with a murderer who has a vendetta against him in a few years. In China, murder is punishable by death. This is not only a respect for the lost life, but also a manifestation of the strictness of the law. The kindness of the law can't purify criminals like the perverted teacher, and it is too harsh. It seems that it is not fair to the Jinzi group who want to reform, or simply have an unspeakable secret. Nothing can be perfect, nothing can be perfect.
People say that all those who are imprisoned are sinners, but in the film, Jin Zi's inmates, witches, they are different from ordinary people because they do whatever they want, they dare to act, they are free and easy, and they are real. And what are the so-called good people outside the prison? A well-dressed teacher? Outraged parents? Or kind and lovely gold? What is the difference between prison and cage? Bad people are not bad, good people are bad. Gold's experience is a demonstration, a revelation, and a warning. Jin Zi's last act was no longer pure revenge. At that moment, Jin Zi truly became a sinner, even if that person deserved to die...
Jin Zi wiped off the thick eye shadow, but could no longer wipe away the frivolous Guilt in my heart. Life cannot be repeated. Once stained, it will bear a heavy burden for the rest of your life. Being used by hatred, and then using others, is the nightmare that Jin Zi can't get rid of in the future.
